Customer Reviews
An accidental found podcast that’s brilliant
I love personal stories that humanize oddities and intimate occurrences of one’s life, and make us feel less alone in a world that has become increasingly isolated
Summary: sometimes embarrassing, intense, funny, eye opening, and authentic because these are not fictional accounts - they’re not necessarily extraordinary in terms of every one being about a near death story or slipping banana peel style whilst walking down the aisle to marry. No, They’re painfully personal accounts, and really just experiences within and told from regular humans that we all experience in one form (definitely not EVERY one of these stories) or another of similar nature —or a version of—or maybe have experienced something somewhat related, or know one other person who went through a parallel life event, and with all this in mind, that helps mollify our insecurities.
Because of these raw, real, so well told first hand incidents of ordinary life from the outside, and flawless in structure— rest assured these are riveting stories no matter the subject, be it major or seemingly uneventful. Well done well done, 5/5
